Nope. They had it and removed it, and there are plenty of extensions to add them back if you (for some ungodly reason) want them. They’re not in vanilla Gnome because they don’t want them. And they’re right.
Practically all other DEs copy Windows, so yeah, of course they’ll have Windows UX elements.

All the extensions are plagued by the same issue they had before. Drag and drop from apps never working properly, the icon grid behaves incorrectly sometimes and other cosmetic glitches.
And right now millions of people do and I don’t see widespread issues.
It’s not a widespread issue, it’s something with the desktop icon extensions and the original implementation. In both cases the drag and drop from/to apps never worked fine.

Nope. They work fine. Several distros even use them out of the box without issue.
You clearly never used those extensions.
Not for a long time, no. I prefer zero extensions. But back when I did… zero issues.

I think you’re letting your irrational hatred cloud your judgement…
